Trump's son: The war with Iran was the main reason for our failure Donald Trump's eldest son also named the war against Iran and the increase in gasoline and diesel prices as the main reasons for the failure of the Republican Party in the elections for the American Congress and emphasized that the war with Iran is contrary to the election promises. Yesterday, Trump Jr. said in a podcast he published on the Rumble platform: "Whether you think this decision is right or not, the Iran war has greatly changed the attitude of the voters and the formation of this wave (the defeat of the Republicans). "This war greatly increased the price of gasoline and changed people's minds." - Link.
